566-568 Elizabeth St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 566-568 Elizabeth Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by William Knights LLC and containing two units in the Noe Valley neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past decade, including major interior updates in 2011-2012 involving kitchen and bathroom remodels on multiple floors with corresponding electrical and plumbing work. In 2012, substantial exterior work was carried out, including reroofing and replacement of a dryrotted main stair, though these projects coincided with serious safety concerns.

Two building violations were filed in early 2012 regarding unpermitted excavation work and inadequate shoring related to a proposed garage project, which were ultimately abated by May 2013, along with a fire code violation from 2009 regarding combustible materials. More recent history shows various maintenance and service issues, with several 311 calls in 2023 relating to sewer odors, a fallen tree, and driveway blockage. A sidewalk defect was reported and addressed in February 2022, which included permit application requirements.

Other recent calls have primarily involved parking enforcement and general service requests. The building's permit history shows consistent attention to necessary repairs and improvements, particularly in 2012 when multiple structural and safety-related projects were completed, including modifications to the stairway to improve headroom clearance. While the property has had some serious safety issues in the past, particularly regarding excavation and shoring work, these were resolved over a decade ago and there have been no similar violations recorded since 2013.
